Hive Notes is Coming To WebEx

Hive is excited to announce that we are joining the Cisco WebEx partner ecosystem with our upcoming Hive Notes app for WebEx.

It’s hard to remember the days before virtual meetings. In the midst of screen sharing docs, taking handwritten notes, and logging tasks in your task management app, things fall through the cracks. And we all know that feeling when you log off a video call and feel like you missed something important, or lose momentum because you don’t have clear action items. 

Our solution? Hive Notes for WebEx. It’s the next step on our mission to help teams move faster, and a powerful solution for teams who already use Hive, or people who are just hearing about it for the first time. 

For the thousands of teams who already use Hive, this launch is a much-requested extension of the current Hive Notes feature in Hive. We know many of you already use Hive Notes to collaborate in meetings, and this app for WebEx will make it easier than ever before. And for anyone else who is just looking to make their meetings more productive, you too can experience the power of Hive in your WebEx meetings — and it’s totally free.

Here’s how you can use Hive Notes to improve your productivity — and have meetings where work actually gets done. 

Share Agendas With The Group

What’s worse than showing up at a meeting with no agenda? You might as well skip the meeting altogether. With Hive Notes, you can sync a note with an upcoming meeting, create an agenda before the meeting starts, and easily share it with all meeting attendees. This makes it easier than ever for attendees to understand meeting contents and next steps they need to take.

Don’t know where to start with your Note? We’ve got you covered. You can choose one of our six Notes templates to get you started and provide inspiration for whatever type of meeting you are planning. Whether you’re preparing for a weekly one-on-one or a project kickoff, Hive Notes templates can help you get organized and hit the ground running.

Collaborate in real-time and assign tasks 

Once you’ve shared a note with meeting participants, everyone has the ability to collaborate and type in real-time. Empower everyone on your team to contribute their ideas, while also lessening the burden of having one single note-taker. There’s also a separate “Private Notes” section for anything you don’t necessarily need to share with the group. 

From the note, you can turn any talking point into an actionable task. Assign these tasks to anyone in the meeting and set deadlines right as you are discussing them. Rather than waiting until after the meeting to decide who is doing what, start working during meetings. When you use Hive Notes, you will always leave with clear next steps.

Share notes, carry momentum into the workday 

Once the meeting has ended, you can share your note (in Hive Notes or via email) and loop in anyone who wasn’t able to make it to the meeting. Using your Note as an action plan post-meeting, the entire team can carry momentum into the workday and actually keep the ball rolling. 

Hive Notes also help you hold people accountable after the meeting ends. Revisit the note at any time to track your team’s progress and see which tasks may need an extra nudge.

Have this meeting on a recurring weekly or monthly basis? Click “Add new entry” and the next note entry will populate with the same meeting details. With all of your past meeting notes stored in the same thread, you can easily revisit old meeting notes or next-steps.

We’re thrilled to be teaming up with WebEx to bring the power of Hive Notes to even more meetings. If you want to stay up to date on the WebEx app, email us at marketing@hive.com.
